New Delhi: The investigative portal Cobrapost has come out with another sting claiming that 36 Bollywood celebrities were prepared to promote a political party for money by posting favourable messages on their social media accounts to help create a favourable environment in the run-up to 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
The celebrities includes several actors, comedians, singers and other film artists from Bollywood. It says, the party in question was, in most of the cases, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress in some cases.
“The names of political parties were used, in good faith and public interest, for narrative purpose only, and this is not an insinuation of their actual involvement in the practice,” Cobrapost said.
“The investigation was made to expose the celebs willing to endorse a political agenda in return for monetary gains,” it added.
